Product Overview

Overview

Opus One Solutions is a Candian-based developer of a DERMS and DER analysis platform. The company has been around since 2011 and has had a number of projects with North American utilities.

The company's technology is based on creating a digital twin of the distribution grid, enabling power flow and capacity analysis. This enables it customers to conduct DER planning studies and scenario analysis, identifying where on the grid DERs can provide the most value. The platform can also simulate transactive energy markets and optimize control of DERs in real-time to maximize their value to the grid operator.

Opus One offers its GridOS platform with three software modules. The Integrated Distribution Planning module integrates network model, system forecasts, SCADA, and AMI data to enable DER scenario analysis. The Distributed Energy Resource Management System module provides real-time monitoring and control of DER assets to improve grid operational efficiency. Lastly, the company's Transactive Energy Management System leverages the company's power flow engine to simulate and provide markets for DER participation.
